I loved Rafiki especially when he finds adult Simba.

I just heard about that from one of my friends. As a longtime Lion King fan, it's very sad. There's a lot that could be learned from Rafiki and he got to be the voice to give us Rafiki's wise words. At least he got to live to be a pretty old age though....

Sad to see it.
He had so much joy in his voice.

Can't believe that the Lion King movie has lost another voice actor. You know the one who voiced Simba's mother Sarabi, died after the film was released.

I didn't know he voiced Rafiki in both sequels! I know they got a new voice actor for Simba every time.
Sad to hear, he was very good at voice acting.
